USI-Cosc Intimate Partner Violence Campaign

The Union of Students in Ireland (USI) and Cosc are launching a campaign to encourage third level students to speak up if they know someone who has been affected by Intimate Partner Violence (IPV). Cosc has provided funding to USI under the Cosc Awareness Raising Grant Scheme to promote awareness of domestic and sexual violence among third level students.

USI are running an Artwork, Videography and Photography competition which began on Friday 14th October and was to conclude on Friday 18th of November, 2011. The deadline has since been extended to Friday 2nd of December, 2011. Details of the competition and terms and conditions can be found here. Alongside the competition USI will distribute wristbands to students to promote awareness of IPV.

The overall winner of the competition will win an iPad2. It is intended that the winning artwork will be used by USI in raising awareness of IPV in third level colleges.
